How can you go to dinner parties with all 23 00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:01.239 these terrible problems in the hospitals? 24 00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:01.719 Lawrence? 25 00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:03.719 You haven't been reading those reports. 26 00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:04.400 I've brought home. 27 00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:08.280 Yes, I have father. What's the cause of these appalling conditions? 28 00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:10.800 Well, for one thing, it seems to be impossible to 29 00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:11.639 get enough nurses. 30 00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:14.479 Now, Florence, we all know that there are aspects of 31 00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:17.520 life that we must all regret. Fortunately we don't have 32 00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:20.280 to encounter them. Now, run up and change your dress, dear. 33 00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:23.120 We're going to be terribly late. Mother. There's a tragedy 34 00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:25.719 on every one of those pages. People are dying for 35 00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:28.960 lack of care. An't you any imagination? Doesn't it call 36 00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:32.400 on you for service and help. I'm only thankful, Florence, 37 00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:34.639 that I lead a well ordered life in pleasant places 38 00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:37.960 and with beautiful association. But Florence, dear, I can't see 39 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:41.159 why you should let yourself be come upset. I'm sure 40 00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:43.199 that your father will do everything in his power to 41 00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:46.400 improve matters. You'll forget all about this as soon as 42 00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:50.520 you're married to Charles. But I'm not going to marry Charles. 43 00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:52.439 It's out of the question now. 44 00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:54.759 Now, my dear, you are just a little upset. To night, 45 00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:56.960 things will look differently in the morning. 46 00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:00.680 I'm never going to marry any one. Charles is a 47 00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:05.759 very desirable husband. He's handsome, well educated, good family. Charles 48 00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:08.800 is much more than that. Mother. Charles is all the 49 00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:10.680 things I used to dream about when I was a 50 00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:13.639 little girl, all the things any woman would want a 51 00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:16.439 man to be. And if I could limit my life 52 00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:19.280 to the confines of one small world, I would marry Charles, 53 00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:21.879 and I'm I'm sure i'd be very happy. But I can't. 54 00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:25.280 Why not, Florence, Because I want to. 55 00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:29.400 Do something bigger, something really worthwhile. I want to feel, 56 00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:31.840 when I'm ready to die, that I've contributed something to 57 00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:34.240 the world. You could be a wife and a mother. 58 00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:37.800 What more could any woman be? I'm going to be 59 00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:55.199 a nurse. I'm going to Sweden next week to train. Well, miss, 60 00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:57.280 how do you like scrubbing floors? So I've done things 61 00:03:57.319 --> 00:03:59.759 I like, Feather, I can't make you are coming all 62 00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:02.319 the way to Starkholm to do this. Are there any 63 00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:05.240 training schools for nurses in England? No minna in England. 64 00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:07.520 They don't teach girls to do anything. Oh what a 65 00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:08.919 wonderful country to live in. 66 00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:12.680 Ladies, you're forgetting the rules of the institution. Work must 67 00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:24.439 be done silently. Come my probationists. I'm wanted by my 68 00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:25.600 patient in room twenty. 69 00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:28.360 I want you to come along, Minna. We just sat 70 00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:30.959 down to eat. You can't eat if your patients need you. 71 00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:33.079 Come girls, This is no time for dardling. 72 00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:42.079 Let me make the bed for you. Missus Arnold, certainly not. 73 00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:44.600 All you've got to do is look on and learn 74 00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:45.279 all you can. 75 00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:48.560 You're not ready yet for practical work, or we're ready 76 00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:51.399 for us chambermaid works, scrubbing and cleaning and everything else 77 00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:52.279 that's disagreeable. 78 00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:55.319 A very important rule in nursing is not to chatter. 79 00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:59.800 I carry these sheets downstairs? When may we take charge 80 00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:00.959 of patients. 81 00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:04.560 After you've learned your ABC's A course of dirty work 82 00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:06.120 makes the best nurses. 83 00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:23.160 Do have some of our comforts, lady. 84 00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:25.040 I am no, thank you, mister Herbert. 85 00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:28.519 As I was saying, I'd deplore all this revolutionary spirit 86 00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:31.160 on the continent. I do hope that Florence will get 87 00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:32.439 home safer from Stockholm. 88 00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:35.199 Missus Nightingale tells me that she's expected back tomorrow. 89 00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:38.000 How her mother must be looking forward to her settling down, 90 00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:38.959 settling down. 91 00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:42.560 Hadn't you heard Florence is determined to become a hospital nurse. 92 00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:45.240 A hospital nurse. Oh, you're not serious. 93 00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:47.360 I certainly am, and so is France. 94 00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:49.959 If she were my daughter, I'd give her a good gripping. 95 00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:52.519 Will imagine mixing with women of the lowest order. 96 00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:55.639 So far as I'm concerned, I shall cease to know 97 00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:57.839 Miss Nightingale from this moment onwards. 98 00:05:57.920 --> 00:05:59.839 I'm sorry to hear you say that, my dear, because 99 00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:02.680 I shall admire her more than ever. She sets us 100 00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:06.519 all an example by her courage and independence. Any intelligent 101 00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:08.399 doctor will go out of his way to get hold 102 00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:11.560 of her. Particularly with war brewing on the continent, we 103 00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:26.120 need nurses more than ever. Florence, my dear, what are 104 00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:28.639 you doing here in the law office? Not thinking of 105 00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:29.519 joining the army? 106 00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:32.120 Are you hello, mister Herbert, Yes I am, if i'll 107 00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:34.519 have me. Father is in with the army board now 108 00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:35.519 he took my application. 109 00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:38.079 Don't be too disappointed if they turn you down. 110 00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:39.879 Why should they do me, Domin, they need me. 111 00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:43.000 Sometimes it's a little hard to get men to admit 112 00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:43.920 that they need women. 113 00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:48.680 Well, father, I'm sorry, Florence. 114 00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:50.279 What did they say? 115 00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:53.120 They said that the medical staff at Scutare was quite 116 00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:55.920 satisfied with the male nurses that they had. They said 117 00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:58.680 the females were appeal to the Frenchman, but not to 118 00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:03.639 Englishmen wouldn't even consider the idea of sending you to Scutari, Florence. 119 00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:05.800 Are they're just being obstinate and out of date. 120 00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:08.959 Perhaps it's just as well, Florence. Think of the hardship 121 00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:11.040 you'd have to go through to get to the Crimea. 122 00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:12.759 It's a long way from London. 123 00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:15.680 They don't need you, Florence, but they thank you for 124 00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:16.800 your generous offer. 125 00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:20.240 Don't need me father? Look at this article in the Times. 126 00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:23.879 Paula says the sufferings of the sick and wounded are indescribable. 127 00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:26.800 There are no dresses and nurses. There are not sufficient surgeons. 128 00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:29.319 There's not even in linen to make bandages for the wounded. 129 00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:31.680 The wounded were led to believe that everything was ready 130 00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:33.839 which could ease their pain, But it was found that 131 00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:36.399 the commonest appliances of a workhouse sick ward were lacking. 132 00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:38.680 How dare they say they don't need me when they 133 00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:40.160 need everything and everyone that can help. 134 00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:42.519 I don't know how much weight I can swing with 135 00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:44.439 a board, but I'll be glad to talk to them 136 00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:46.959 for you. If you like, Florence, how would you do that? 137 00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:51.240 If they will send you, It'll mean reorganizing the entire 138 00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:54.720 Army medical system. You would be under the Minister of 139 00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:58.079 State and also under Lord Raglan, who was Commander in chief. 140 00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:01.720 You'd have to work in cooperation with his medical officers. 141 00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:03.800 Are you sure you'll be willing to do that. 142 00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:07.240 I'm willing to do anything to help you. 143 00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:08.600 Will see what I can do. 144 00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:18.879 Here. 145 00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.839 Have you done any nursing by Miss Nightingale? 146 00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:23.720 Lineup over here? 147 00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:26.319 Please?

But we have typhoid cases here. 191 00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:45.720 She wants to be a nurse here. 192 00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:46.679 That counts to prove it. 193 00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:49.080 Why don't you assign her to my hospital until this 194 00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:50.519 typhoid epidemic is over? 195 00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:53.320 We can never tell her this kind of infection. You'd 196 00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:55.519 better tell that to miss Nightingale, so you'll go home 197 00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:58.080 and stay home. I think you're treating her outrageously. 198 00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:01.600 If you're forgetting yourself softer, Scott, I think NASA leave 199 00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:03.960 for the front immediately, Yes, sir. 200 00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:12.960 Orderly, please open those windows. We need some air in here. 201 00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:16.080 Don't do that, mister smell for all of the ve's coming. 202 00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:18.120 When we've cleaned up everywhere, there will be no more 203 00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:25.159 smells or vermin? Are you the storekeeper? 204 00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:25.600 Yes? 205 00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:27.200 What can I do for your miss? 206 00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:29.759 To begin with? I want a dozen mops, a dozen buckets, 207 00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:32.080 and all the soap, sponges and flore cars you've got. 208 00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:34.240 I want five hundred night shirts, and I'll send the 209 00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:35.840 nurses offer for them in five minutes. 210 00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:38.440 Give me your requisition and I'll see that in due 211 00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:41.159 course it reaches the board of directors. 212 00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:43.639 A board of directors for a hospital store. Can't you 213 00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:47.080 give me these things yourself? The manner in such hideous discomfortate? 214 00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:48.440 They can't wait another minute. 215 00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:50.960 I'm not allowed to issue anything till it's being fast 216 00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:51.720 by the board. 217 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:54.039 I can't go beyond my regulation. 218 00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:56.039 I command you to give them to me. 219 00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:59.240 I've got my orders and I'm going to obey them. 220 00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:02.720 I've got my orders too, And when my nurses arrive here, 221 00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:04.679 you'd better give the nurse supplies. 222 00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:16.320 I've come to make a complaint against miss Nightingale. 223 00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:17.440 Sir, what's she's done? 224 00:12:17.559 --> 00:12:20.120 She's stolen five hundred churchs and a good many other things. 225 00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:20.320 Sir. 226 00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:23.159 He was broken with a bunch of nurses and took them, 227 00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:26.480 and you let her. I can't fight women, sir, Well, 228 00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:27.679 I can't. 229 00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:40.840 I'm glad you came in, Miss Nightingdale. I wanted to 230 00:12:40.919 --> 00:12:41.279 talk to you. 231 00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:45.000 I wanted to talk to you. You've avoided me since 232 00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:47.639 the moment of my arrival. I hope what I'm going 233 00:12:47.720 --> 00:12:49.519 to say maybe for the good of the common cause 234 00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:50.240 we both serve. 235 00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:51.679 You don't have a stand. 236 00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:55.120 I'm an army officer, I know, and I'm a nurse. 237 00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:57.200 But I think it would be for the benefit of 238 00:12:57.240 --> 00:12:59.120 a sick and wounded if we could talk openly to 239 00:12:59.200 --> 00:12:59.639 one another. 240 00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:02.559 What is it you want to say, Colonel Hunt? 241 00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:06.440 What makes you show this animosity towards me? 242 00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:08.120 It's Nightingale. 243 00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:10.679 I appreciate the frankness of your question. 244 00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:13.600 I not opposed to you as a person, but. 245 00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:16.360 I object to the idea of women nurses to the army. 246 00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:19.440 And why do you object? You make the men soft. 247 00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:22.320 Soldiers don't need to be cuddled by a lot of women. 248 00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:25.120 We don't cuddle the soldiers. We try to make their 249 00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:26.759 pitiful state easier to bear. 250 00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:29.559 There's nothing the pity. It's part of a soldier's. 251 00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:33.120 Life, Colonel Hunt. Have you ever been sick or wounded? 252 00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:33.559 Yes? 253 00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:35.679 And I know what a man can stand. 254 00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:40.159 Is there no possibility of an understanding between us none whatever. 255 00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:44.000 I warn you that if you show any further insubordination, 256 00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:45.799 I shall have you court martials. 257 00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:50.000 Colonel Hunt, I'm here to work simply and solely for 258 00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:53.080 the benefit of the soldiers. I shall continue to do 259 00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:55.600 so in any way that it is necessary. 260 00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:10.159 Most of us are familiar with the miraculous result from 261 00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:13.519 the use of penicillin and serious infection. But did you 262 00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:16.120 know that penicillin is now used in preventive medicine as 263 00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:20.200 well in cases of minor surgery. For instance, your doctor 264 00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:23.240 may administer penicillum in any one of several forms to 265 00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:28.559 prevent secondary infections. Naturally, increased uses to penicillin compose a 266 00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:32.799 demand to increased quantities. Chanley Laboratories is geared to do 267 00:14:32.919 --> 00:14:36.320 its part in meeting at demand. In addition to penicillum 268 00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:39.840 in its original form, Chaneley has now developed such pharmaceuticals 269 00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:43.879 as penicillin cablets and proties for administration by mouth, as 270 00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:47.840 well as penicillin ointment and of fom appointment. As one 271 00:14:47.879 --> 00:14:50.080 of the world's largest uses of the search on mold 272 00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:54.559 and fermentation processes from which penicillum and other antibiotics are derived. 273 00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:58.679 Chenry Laboratories has dedicated itself to a continuing program of 274 00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:02.919 investigation and study. It is our sincere hope and name 275 00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:06.559 that this research program resulted the production of new and 276 00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:11.639 ever grating healing aids replaced at the disposal of doctors everywhere. 277 00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:12.799 Now. 278 00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:17.080 The second act of White Angel, starring Virginia Bruce as 279 00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:18.879 Florence Nightingale. 280 00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:28.120 Man. 281 00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:45.919 During the weeks that followed, she became a legend. The 282 00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:48.879 soldiers that she nursed idolized her, and so did people 283 00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:50.320 all over the world who read and. 284 00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:51.159 Heard of her work. 285 00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:55.360 In America, a man named Longfellow wrote her poems and 286 00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:58.200 in the writing gave her a title that would live forever, 287 00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:02.440 The Lady with the Lamb. She became a goddess of 288 00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:06.320 life and healing. To Officer Infantryman, Drummer boy. 289 00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:10.159 A snighting Chale, here I am, Tommy. I'll sit by 290 00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:14.919 your better moment, shall I? Oh my? What's the matter, Tommy? 291 00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:17.080 You're usually in much better spirits. 292 00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:19.600 The doctor told him that he won't live until tomorrow. 293 00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:24.759 Miss I shan't find dying it here with me? Tommy? 294 00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:27.480 Have you got a mother and a father? 295 00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:28.759 Sure? 296 00:16:28.840 --> 00:16:29.039 I have? 297 00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:29.960 Well? 298 00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:31.840 Then you think about them and how much they'll all 299 00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:34.840 want to see you again. I'll tell you what we'll 300 00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:38.279 do tomorrow. You and I will write them a letter 301 00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:41.799 tomorrow tomorrow. 302 00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:51.840 Good morning, mis Nightingale. 303 00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:53.279 He's still sleeping. 304 00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:54.600 You been here all night? 305 00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:58.639 Yes? No, because Feaver's gone down. He's much better. I 306 00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:01.519 don't understand. He didn't think he could live until morning. 307 00:17:01.639 --> 00:17:05.599 He's going to live. He's going to be all right. 308 00:17:06.359 --> 00:17:10.599 Her little care goes a long way, yes, and a 309 00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:14.480 little love goes a long way further. I'm glad he's better. 310 00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:17.319 I wouldn't like to leave for the Crimea as long 311 00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:18.759 as anyone still needed me here. 312 00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:36.119 Well s Nightingale, Welcome to the Crimea. 313 00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:38.440 Oh doctor Scott, I'm so glad to see you. I 314 00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:41.079 need your help. The officials here won't supply my staff 315 00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:43.480 with any food. Who gave him such an idiotic order? 316 00:17:43.799 --> 00:17:47.079 I did you who? Those were Colonel Hans's instructions. I 317 00:17:47.160 --> 00:17:48.599 had no choice but to obey them. 318 00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:50.920 Colonel Hunt is going out of his way to be vindictive. 319 00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:52.759 You can't be expected to obey him. 320 00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:55.240 I don't dare fall follow him again. I was sent 321 00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:57.200 here because I told him what I thought of him. 322 00:17:57.200 --> 00:17:59.880 For putting you in the typhoid ward. If I disobeyed 323 00:17:59.920 --> 00:18:02.640 Hi now, it would mean a court martial. I comfished 324 00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:03.160 that I. 325 00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:06.400 Should think not. Indeed, it doesn't matter about me. I 326 00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:07.920 can always get along with a cup of tea. But 327 00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:12.599 I must do something about my nurses that they're famished it, 328 00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:15.920 Miss Nightingale. Yes, what is it?

What we are certainly not ordered here? 330 00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:21.759 Did you give that order to doctor Scott? 331 00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:23.599 You don't understand. 332 00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:26.079 I'm part of this miserable system. 333 00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:29.480 Your system may starve me, but it will never succeed 334 00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:31.599 in keeping me for my sick I shall go to 335 00:18:31.640 --> 00:18:47.079 the hospital at once and demand admittance once, Nightingale, I'm. 336 00:18:46.960 --> 00:18:49.000 Sorry, Miss, I can't pass you into the hospital. 337 00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:50.039 Why not orders? 338 00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:51.799 I hope you'll go quietly back. 339 00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:52.079 Miss. 340 00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:53.880 If you try to come in here, I should be 341 00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:54.920 obliged to restrain you. 342 00:18:55.640 --> 00:18:56.519 Orders are orders. 343 00:18:56.839 --> 00:18:58.759 Then I shall wait out here till they're canceled. 344 00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:15.680 In the snow, Miss in the snow, Doctor Scott, Lord Ragland, 345 00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:19.119 I've been informed that Miss Nightingale has been refused admission 346 00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:19.880 to the hospital. 347 00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:23.880 Was this done by an official order? Yes? Where is 348 00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:28.200 that order, Doctor Scott. Pick it up. Yes, now, tear 349 00:19:28.279 --> 00:19:29.160 it up.

I am deeply ashamed that 355 00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:10.920 such a thing could have happened in the Army to 356 00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:13.839 a lady of our country. Colonel Hunt is to be 357 00:20:13.960 --> 00:20:17.000 relieved of his post at Scutari, and I want the 358 00:20:17.279 --> 00:20:20.200 entire army to know that I have said most emphatically 359 00:20:20.920 --> 00:20:23.240 that there must be no more of these petty jealousies. 360 00:20:24.759 --> 00:20:27.160 Thank you, gentlemen.

That's not very soldierly of you, I know, Oh, 375 00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:33.680 but how very lovely it is to see that someone 376 00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:38.119 so much a soldier can also be so. 377 00:21:38.400 --> 00:21:39.240 Much a woman. 378 00:21:54.680 --> 00:21:57.279 Thank please, Miss Smith, anything to declare? 379 00:21:57.599 --> 00:21:57.640 No? 380 00:21:58.000 --> 00:22:00.319 Shall I open my suitcase ahead? 381 00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:13.160 Did you see what it says here in the Times 382 00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:13.559 of Water. 383 00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:16.279 Yesterday Miss Nightingale. 384 00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:19.039 Returned as Miss Smith to her home at Embley, without 385 00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:22.960 anyone being aware that she'd even landed in England. Miss 386 00:22:23.160 --> 00:22:25.440 Nightingale wishes it to be known that she desires no 387 00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:28.920 reception celebrations in her honor. She would prefer that the 388 00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:31.759 money for such a purpose should be the nucleus of 389 00:22:31.839 --> 00:22:35.039 a fund for building training schools for nurses in England. 390 00:22:35.279 --> 00:22:37.440 A fine woman, God bless him. 391 00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:53.000 For Florence. I could just cry. I spent weeks planning 392 00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:55.039 a gown for you to wear to see the Queen. 393 00:22:55.400 --> 00:22:58.359 I'm sorry, mother, isn't that I don't appreciate it. But 394 00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:01.640 I'm going as I am in that old uniform. I'm 395 00:23:01.640 --> 00:23:04.039 going to meet her as a nurse, wearing the uniform 396 00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:07.799 that symbolizes my work. It's my work in executive at Lantis. Now, 397 00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:10.279 I'm sure the Queen mon't hear your views on nursing. 398 00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:13.720 She'll likely be pleasant. One or two anecdotes about the war, perhaps, 399 00:23:13.759 --> 00:23:14.759 but no opinions. 400 00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:17.000 Herbert is waiting for you in the carriage, Florence. 401 00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:20.440
